Crochet Bath Rug

Beginner Crochet Bath Mat

This bath mat is perfect for beginner crocheters because the whole crochet pattern uses just single crochets, which means its easy to work up. If you can single crochet then this you can make this mat. I wrote all about single crochets in a previous post if you’d like a reminder of how to’s of the stitch. Let’s talk about the yarn next!

The Yarn To Use For a Crochet Bath Mat

When considering making a crochet bath mat you need yarn that holds up well to constant use and water. For this particular, bath mat pattern I used three different kinds of yarn.

The yarn I picked was Feels Like Butta in White & Pale Grey as well as Terry Spun in Ice which are all from Lion Brand Yarn (my favorite yarn company)!

The Terry Spun yarn almost gives the mat a fleece like fuzzy feel, which is perfect for your feet.

I had previously used Feels Like Butta for my pretty in pink scarf and a baby blanket chevron design, so I knew that it would be amazingly soft crocheted into a bathmat.

How to Crochet a Fuzzy BathMat

To get the fuzzy feel of a bath rug, I used three skeins of yarn (I mentioned that before) and held them all together simultaneously. So, I crocheted single crochets while holding all THREE skeins of yarn together at once.

This technique is super easy to achieve, and you crochet like usual, but it almost feels like you are using a bulky yarn because of how many skeins you are holding.

Take peek at the picture below to see what I mean.

Non Slip Crochet Bath Mat

Make a Non-slip Crochet Bath Rug

To make my crochet bath rug non-slip, I added some grip liner I got from the dollar store! I cut off long rectangular pieces and sewed them to the bottom of the mat using a large yarn needle and some yarn.

This part is optional, but I feel like it would be beneficial to add this for safety.

    I put velcro on my rubber backing so that I could remove it before washing.

      Hi Ann,
      We have used and washed it quite a bit and it has lasted well.

    What about laundering the bath mat? Once you attach the rubber backing…. how does that affect throwing it in the washer.

      Hi! I’d wash on cold / gentle. Most of my bath mat’s that I’ve bought from the store have some kind of grip on it so I usually wash it on cold and lay flat or hang to dry. 🙂
